Horn seemed to hear someone talking in his ear, something strange and noisy, something like a "substitute" or a "good stepmother".
He opened his eyes drowsily, and it was no longer the weird people with blurred faces, nor the dark room or the smelly garbage dump, but his own room.
Are you dreaming? Horn thought and wanted to call Grandpa Qi, but found that he could not speak. He curled his mouth and wanted to cry, but his father's words echoed in his mind. A man never sheds tears easily. He is a man like his father. , so I have to endure the helplessness and pain like my father.
"Are you awake?" A cold female voice sounded in his ears. Horn wanted to turn his head to look, but found that he couldn't move until Su Jin's enlarged face appeared in front of him.
Su Jin looked at the deep fear in Horn's eyes and continued, "Are you feeling very uncomfortable? Does it hurt anywhere on your body?"
Horn didn't nod or shake his head, he just looked at her like that. Horn felt that he might be dreaming, and he hadn't woken up from that nightmare yet. Otherwise, how could he be the good mother his father said he was when he opened his eyes?
His father always said that his mother was indifferent to him because she was afraid that he would forget his biological mother. It was not that she didn't like him, but Horn felt that this woman really didn't like him.
Because he once heard this woman say that he was annoying and troublesome.
Although he has never experienced the feeling of being loved by his mother, he has eyes and a heart. He has seen how the mother of his classmate gets along with his classmates, so he knows that Su Jin really hates him as she said.
Now his stepmother is in front of him, so is it because he hasn't woken up from his dream?
Su Jin watched Horn close his eyes and thought, how old is this child? Eight? Still seven years old?
Because the original owner never cared about this matter, Su Jin was very vague about Horn's age.
She has experienced a lot of worlds and raised many children, but she is really at a loss as to how to be a good stepmother to Horn.
After all, when she came here, she was shocked by Horn's miserable appearance. She remembered that the person behind the injury to Horn was not found out until the death of the original owner. After the original owner was reported by Qi Bin, this matter was also revealed by the original owner. Take the blame.
Thinking about it, Su Jin looked at Horn who opened his eyes again and said, "Dr. Gu said that there are traces of Zerg left in your body. He has helped you understand that your wounds will heal very slowly and you may be in pain for a long time. But you are Huo Yunzhou’s son, you won’t be defeated by this pain, right?”
Horn felt that the way he woke up was wrong. His pretentious and vain stepmother actually appeared in his room, and it seemed that she had been guarding him for a long time.
How could this be? Didn't this woman say that his room was filled with the same disgusting smell as his mysterious biological mother? He also said that it was his biological mother who was disgusting, so even if he was of his father's blood, he could not wash away the stench from the bottom.
Although everyone respected him, he always knew that those people liked him because of his invincible father. While they liked him, they also hated him because he was the stain on his father, the God of War. He once heard Some people discussed behind the scenes that perhaps his mother's status was unworthy, so his father did not make it public.
Many people said this, but the stepmother was the only one who told him face to face.
Horn's eight-year-old mind couldn't figure out why his stepmother hated him, but he knew that after his father passed away, he only had his stepmother as a relative. These were the last words his father gave him.
The royal family cannot be trusted, and no one can be trusted, but can the stepmother be trusted?
"Huo En, your father is gone. From now on, there will only be mother and son in this family. Although I still dislike you very much, who made you Huo Yunzhou's child? For him, I will let you grow up safely. , don't be sad, soon we will know who hurt you." Su Jin's hand gently touched Horn's hair, her tone was solemn and cherished that Horn had never heard before.
Horn looked at her and realized who the stepmother seemed to be remembering through him. Are you remembering your father? It seems that the stepmother only smiles when she sees her father, but every time her father hugs him, the tenderness in the stepmother's eyes disappears, and her face turns into that complicated look, seeming to question him, why does he appear here? What about this home?
Horn didn't understand why his presence would make Su Jin angry. He came here first and it was his home.
"Horn, you will become as powerful a person as your father, and you will become the lord of Tata Star, right?" Horn didn't speak, he couldn't speak, and he saw the expression on Su Jin's face when she saw her father. The voice is gentle and gentle.
The stepmother was right, he would become as powerful as his father, protect the Tata Star, and become a hero against the Zerg.
Su Jin: "Do you want to take painkillers? If you want, just blink, but I suggest not, because you have just come out of the recuperation cabin. I heard your father said that your family's genes have a characteristic, that is, the more pain you have, the stronger you will be. , if you get hurt, just rely on the healing cabin to heal."
Horn kept his eyes open and didn't move. He also heard his father say this, I want to improve my body's endurance. If he doesn't fight, and his father is gone, he needs to be stronger to protect himself and the people around him.
Only by being stronger can today's encounter never happen again.
"Uncle Qi said he wanted to hide it from you, but I feel that as the future lord of Tata Planet, I really can't treat you as a real child. The person who harmed you this time should be related to the royal family of the main planet, and maybe the eighth-surname nobles also have Participate in, you know, own a complete planet as a territory, have high combat effectiveness, and command a powerful army. Your father is the only one. Your father is gone, but what he left for you makes them jealous.
Are you going to ask if your father gave me everything, right? "
Seeing Horn blinking, Su Jin continued: "It is true that they are all in my name, but they are only temporarily kept by me. They are all yours. You have to become stronger and be feared by them like your father. Only when the majority of people in the galaxy support it can he hold on to what is left."
Tears flashed in Horn's eyes. Has his father done so much for him?
Su Jin: "Before you become very strong, I will protect these things for you. Yes, I don't have strong fighting power, and I am not as smart as your father, but don't forget, I am from the most distinguished class. The Yami Star walked step by step to the first school in the main star. There is a world where the strong have the strong, and we weak also have our own means of survival. You take good care of your injuries. I hope this injury will not weaken your will."
Horn shook his head hard and struggled to say: "No... it will... I... will... become... very... powerful."
"I know." Su Jin smiled.
This was the first time Su Jin had spoken so many words to him. Perhaps due to the death of his father and the strong pressure from the royal family and nobles of the main star, their relationship had never been more peaceful.
They have a common enemy and want to protect the same things.
The pain from the wound made Horn very tired, and Horn quickly fell asleep again. Su Jin knew that Horn's fear of her could not be eliminated in a day or two. She could only use reasonable means to make him temporarily put aside his fear of her. of alertness.
Su Jin did not leave Horn's room. She rolled out the camp bed left by Huo Yunzhou and lay on the bed, staring at the warm light above her head. After an unknown period of time, the light began to flicker. Su Jin blinked and said to the void. He said, "He's coming."
The interstellar network is abuzz. Their great guardian, the hero who fought against the Zerg, has just passed away, and the hero's family has been persecuted.
When the original scene of Horn appearing in a tragic appearance in the stinking garbage dump was uploaded to the Interstellar Network, people blamed the guards of Tata Planet for being unable to protect a child. Although there were weak voices saying that Horn was too weak, He doesn't look like Huo Yunzhou's child at all, but he was quickly suppressed by righteous netizens. After all, how strong can you ask an eight-year-old child to become? So they only blamed the guardians of Tata Star, believing that the death of the lord took away the will of the warriors of Tata Star.
It wasn't until the live broadcast early this morning that Su Jin, the wife of Huo Yunzhou, the lord of Tata Star, appeared in front of the camera with a haggard look on her face. They didn't know that since the death of the lord, many people whose consciousness had been controlled by the Zerg appeared on Tata Star. And Horn's matter seems to have the shadow of the Zerg. The Zerg have ulterior motives and want to control Horn, the successor of Tata Star.
After failing in one attack, they carried out a sneak attack last night. Fortunately, Su Jin was prepared and captured them in one fell swoop. Those controlled by the Zerg still wanted to alienate the relationship between Tata Star and the Main Star, and actually slandered the royal family and the eight nobles.
"We will never believe what these people say. My husband is of royal blood, and my stepson is the cousin of His Majesty the Emperor. They are blood relatives to Xiao En. How could they harm Xiao En? And how many children of the eighth-surname nobles were killed by the Zerg clan? How can it be possible to cooperate with the Zerg after brutal killing? We will continue to interrogate. At the same time, we would like to thank everyone for your attention to us.
Xiao En woke up from pain last night. He knew that everyone was worried about him and felt very guilty. He said that he had to work hard to become strong and stand on the battlefield like his father, so that he would be worthy of your concern for him... "
Su Jin's last speech moved everyone. Everyone thought of the powerful man, the hero who went deep into the Zerg hinterland for them, paid the price with his life, and seriously injured the Zerg Queen.
So the question is, since the Zerg Queen was seriously injured, the Zerg should be leaderless. How could an organization do such a thing against Horn in a planned and premeditated manner?
Why are the Zerg so arrogant? Why do you control most of the people on Tata Planet? Without the Zerg Queen, shouldn't the strength be greatly weakened?
"The royal family is such a waste. Lord Huo seriously injured the Zerg Queen? You can't even defend against the weakened Zerg soldiers?"
"It turns out that I haven't heard of people around me being controlled by the Zerg before. It's not because our army is too powerful and the Zerg can't attack it. It's because Lord Huo is so awesome that one can fight a hundred."
"Sometimes the killer's words still have a certain degree of credibility. For example, the emperor and the nobles of the eighth surname are causing trouble. Don't blame everything on the Zerg. They are weak now..."
"Don't forget, everyone, the royal family said that because Lord Tata Star's wife is remarrying, it is temporarily managing Tata Star for the underage heir of Lord Tata Star in accordance with the law. But listen, what was Su Jin saying just now?"
"Yes, Lord Huo and his wife are very loving. They are the second couple in the history of the interstellar world with a 100% genetic match. After Lord Huo's death, the position of the lord was left to his wife, and the second heir was the heir, so , who would be so stupid as to give up the territory of a planet? Anyway, I don’t believe Lord Huo’s lover would be so stupid.”
"I understand, it's because the royal family and the nobles of the eighth surname have returned to their old habits and started fighting among themselves, right?"
"No, the Zerg have made a comeback. You are still fighting among yourself. If you are so motivated to compete with your cousin for territory, why not go to the battlefield and fight the Zerg. I am talking about you, Emperor."
"Hey, let me see who suggested that Horn was young and that the royal family and the eight nobles should jointly manage Tata Star. It was you, the emperor who held banquets all day long. The person you sent to take care of Horn died in We’re on our way, they’ve already carried out a second round of assassinations..."
In the main star palace, under the pressure of public opinion, the emperor's face turned blue and black. He looked at the person in front of him and suppressed his anger and asked: "Aren't you saying that Huo En's murder will cause the people to be against the Tata Star Guards and Huo Yunzhou?" Madam’s dissatisfaction, why is public opinion blaming the royal family?”
"Aren't you saying that Huo Yunzhou's wife is short-sighted and vain and will definitely give up Horn and leave Tata Star? Then what she said during the live broadcast will protect Horn, protect the interstellar residents Huo Yunzhou cares about, and advance and retreat together with the Tata Star army. That's right What's the meaning?
Are you useless? Or did the people you sent betray us? "
The person being questioned lowered his waist lower and lower. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and did not dare to answer. He didn't know. The news he got a few days ago was obviously good, so why did Su Jin change his mind?
"No matter what method you use, you must quell the public opinion against the royal family on the Internet. Tata Star must belong to the royal family, not to the unidentified evil of the mother. This is your last chance..."
"Your Majesty, I will not let you down this time."
